Tony and Linda McQuay's home has a bit of a museum quality to it. There are photos, momentos and a well-tended archive system. It's all about their son: a U.S. Olympian.

Tony McQuay Jr. 22, qualified for the U.S. Olympic team this summer in Eurgene. Ore. "About 150 yards, down in the curve, I was like, 'Thank you, God. He's made it,'" said Linda.

McQuay will compete in the 4-by-4 relay and the 400. His parents and sister will be in London.

"I'll watch it on a big-screen TV somewhere on the streets of London," said Linda McQuay. "But I'm going to be running through the streets of London, happy. 'That's my baby! That's my baby! See him? See him? See him?'"
